Polarization: Polar (required)

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm)
Package Type: Radial, Can
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Size/Dimension: 0.394" Dia (10.00 mm)

Performance Parameters (Acceptable if Equal or Superior):

Lifetime @ Temperature: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C or higher
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C or wider

All substitute parts listed maintain identical lead spacing, package configuration, and mounting type, ensuring direct PCB compatibility. Voltage ratings above 16 V provide enhanced reliability margins. Extended lifetime ratings and wider temperature ranges represent performance improvements over the original specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Nichicon Series): UPX1E101MPD and UPX1V101MPD maintain Nichicon manufacturing continuity while providing superior performance. Both feature extended lifetime ratings (20000 Hrs @ 105°C) and wider operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 105°C). UPX1E101MPD offers a compact 14.00 mm height profile. Both are RoHS3 compliant. These parts are classified as Obsolete but represent the preferred upgrade path within the Nichicon product family.

Performance-Enhanced Alternatives (Nichicon): UKL1J101KPD and UPJ1J101MPD provide 63 V voltage ratings with improved tolerance (UKL1J101KPD at ±10%) and extended lifetime (UPJ1J101MPD at 5000 Hrs @ 105°C). Both are RoHS3 compliant. UPJ1J101MPD offers superior ripple current handling and impedance characteristics. These parts are designated Not For New Designs but remain suitable for legacy system maintenance.

Active Product Line Alternatives (Vishay Sprague): 678D107M050CG4D is an Active product from Vishay Sprague with 50 V rating and 3000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime. This part provides current market availability and represents a cross-manufacturer alternative. RoHS compliance status is non-compliant. Lead spacing and package dimensions match the original specification.

Premium Active Alternatives (Chemi-Con): EKYB101ELL101MJ20S, EKZN101ELL101MJ20S, and ESMG101ELL101MJ20S are Active products with 100 V ratings and RoHS3 compliance. EKYB101ELL101MJ20S and EKZN101ELL101MJ20S feature 10000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime ratings, representing the highest reliability tier. ESMG101ELL101MJ20S matches the original 2000 Hrs @ 85°C specification while providing 100 V voltage margin. All three maintain -40°C ~ 105°C operating range and are suitable for new designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a higher voltage-rated capacitor as a substitute? A: Yes. A capacitor rated for higher voltage (25 V, 35 V, 50 V, 63 V, or 100 V) is electrically compatible with a 16 V circuit. Higher voltage ratings provide increased safety margin and reliability. Physical dimensions and lead spacing must remain identical for PCB compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between Obsolete and Not For New Designs status? A: Obsolete parts are no longer manufactured and have limited remaining inventory. Not For New Designs parts are still produced but manufacturers recommend against their use in new circuit designs. Both categories remain suitable for legacy system repairs and maintenance.

Q: Are all substitute parts mechanically interchangeable? A: All listed substitutes maintain 5.00 mm lead spacing, radial can package, and through-hole mounting. However, height dimensions vary between 14.00 mm and 21.50 mm. Verify PCB clearance before installation, particularly for UPX1E101MPD (14.00 mm height).

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term reliability? A: EKYB101ELL101MJ20S and EKZN101ELL101MJ20S provide the highest lifetime ratings at 10000 Hrs @ 105°C with RoHS3 compliance and Active product status. These parts are suitable for applications requiring extended service life and current manufacturing support.

Q: Can I substitute an Obsolete part with an Active product? A: Yes. Active products such as the Chemi-Con series (EKYB101ELL101MJ20S, EKZN101ELL101MJ20S, ESMG101ELL101MJ20S) provide current market availability, manufacturing support, and RoHS3 compliance. Verify electrical specifications and physical dimensions match circuit requirements.

Q: What does ±20% tolerance mean? A: Tolerance specifies the acceptable deviation from the nominal 100 µF capacitance value. ±20% tolerance allows actual capacitance between 80 µF and 120 µF. UKL1J101KPD offers tighter ±10% tolerance (90 µF to 110 µF) for applications requiring greater precision.

Q: Are there compliance differences between substitutes? A: Yes. Most Chemi-Con and Nichicon UPX/UPJ series parts are RoHS3 compliant. Vishay Sprague 678D107M050CG4D is RoHS non-compliant. All parts are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export purposes.
